**EXCITING NEWS**

We are so excited to share with you that we have managed to secure Ned Palmer to present a cheese tasting for us on Friday 18th April (Good Friday)!

'The UK's leading expert on cheese', Ned Palmer is the author of the Sunday Times bestseller A Cheesemonger's History of the British Isles, (2019), a Times Food and Drink Book of the Year 2020. His latest book, A Cheesemonger's Tour de France (2024) won the John Avery Prize at the André Simon Awards in 2025.

We will hold this at Darlington Cricket club starting at 7.30pm so we have enough seats for everyone (no standing at this event!) and also it offers a more accessible building than any others we have been able to find.

Ticket prices are £30 per head including 2 x 125ml of wine, or £20 per head without wine (you can purchase drinks at the bar in the cricket club but there will be limited staff working at the venue so there may be a wait to get served).

If you would like to book please email: [email protected] with the number of people, their names, whether they would like wine (red or white or mix) and a contact number and we will send you a payment link. Tickets are limited so don’t hang around for this engaging evening!
